He then curls up into a fetal position, shaking and trembling in terror. What could his problem be?
-
"What happened to you?" [b]I look around to better understand my surroundings.[/b]
-
You are in a gaping tunnel, a large sewage reservoir running through its center. Along the wall that the Sewer man cowers in front of, a long trail of dry blood is stretched horizontally, thin streams stained as they flowed down to the floor. "Have you seen him...?" the man whimpers.
-
"Who are you talking about?" [b]I help the man to his feet.[/b]
-
He timidly stands up, thanks to your aid. He looks at you with wide, teary eyes. "The head-buster. The prison boy!"
-
[b]So that's what happened to that guy.[/b] I'll tell you what, go down the ladder, and you'll be met with police, they should get you outta here.
-
The man looks at you as if you've grown a third eye. "Police? Police'll kill me. I'm a man of the Underground!" he explains dramatically. "And if they're down there, we've gotta get the hell outta here!" The man then starts to shamble away into the distance of the tunnel, away from the ladder.
-
[b]I follow, prepared to protect my new friend.[/b]
-
The man leads you into a service tunnel dimly lit by lights. There is a flight of stairs farther ahead, but they are guarded by two gunmen, possibly Mafia. They aim their weapons at you, but then your partner raises his hands in the air. "Stop, stop it, you shitheads! He's with me!" They glance at your partner, confused. "You sure he's friendly, Ronny?" one asks unsurely. "Yes, I'm positive. And watch out for coppers; this guy says they've come down here, and they're by the ladder back there." The gunmen suddenly tense, and aim their weapons behind you, waiting for the incoming Police forces. They let you and Ronnie slip past them and into the next service tunnel.
-
[b]I say as I follow.[/b] "Hey, thanks for not just letting me get shot back there."
-
"No problem. It's just a repayment for the warning back there." You both eventually end up at a service elevator. It looks dirty and drained of power. Ronnie steps inside of it through its jammed-open doors. He beckons you inside with his hands.
-
[b]I enter the elevator.[/b]
-
After you enter, you see Ronnie not pressing a button to move the elevator, but instead twisting a crank with both arms. The elevator starts to ease downward. "So you're a Hacker, are you?" Ronnie asks as he operates the crank.
-
"Why do you ask?"

((Wait, would you mind if we continued this on Sauron's latest post? He is a detective RPer looking for you in the Sewers, and I wanted to make this a little more interesting.))

((Why not?))
